Knitting with VELVET

VELVET – a review

Soft Extravagance by LANGYARNS

There are yarns that suggest luxury — and then there’s VELVET, the one that embodies it. With a fine nylon core wrapped in silky viscose fluff, it creates a plush, velvety surface that feels as beautiful as it looks. Light, fluid, and irresistibly soft, VELVET brings refined glamour to every stitch — a yarn that turns simplicity into something truly special.

The blend of viscose and nylon gives it strength beneath the softness, making it glide easily through the fingers. The fabric it creates is sumptuous and modern, a perfect choice for knitters who want luxury that’s wearable, not just beautiful.
